And while you’re paging through old photos, here are some contemporary images.

Dozens of colorful flowers grow from an artifact of war in this woman’s garden in Ramallah. Using spent tear gas grenades from clashes between Israeli soldiers and Palestinians, a Palestinian woman plants a garden of tiny flowers, a testament to the expression that “hope springs eternal.”

“While the conflict and violence between the Israeli and Palestinians seems far from ending, it’s beautiful to see strong, spirited and creative people in the middle of this conflict create peaceful demonstrations like this. This goes, of course, for people on both sides of the long-standing and painful conflict, like the Israeli artist who creates metal rose sculptures made from the remains of rockets launched by Palestinian extremists,” reads the copy accompanying the images on a website named Demilked.

A reader sent this along with a note that read, “I hope this becomes available in all medical centers in my lifetime! If you haven’t seen this before it is well worth your time to see what is happening in remarkable new and innovative methods of surgery in Israel. ​A good one to share.”

I agree! Take a look at the operating room of the future, how the medical team will treat treat the human body without cutting, instead using ultrasound waves and a complicated electronic system with mechanics and software that support it.
